  Informational postings related to radio. (Moderated)

  To provide high quality, informational postings about radio.  This
  group will take cross-postings, or moderated postings from the regular
  discussion streams to alleviate the traffic, over expensive links, in
  these groups by allowing the news transfer mechanism to drop articles
  cross posted to rec.radio.info. Postings in the entire rec.radio.*
  hierarchy that the moderator(s) feel as informational, however, are
  likely candidates for cross posting or re-posting. Also by placing the
  informational postings in this group, make it easier for many to find
  radio related information.
  
  By maintaining a high level of quality in the postings, it is hoped
  that these postings may end up, at least more conveniently, in various
  archive sites, or possibly over the Amateur Radio Packet BBS network
  as well.
  
  By using a self-moderator scheme, the hopes are that many of the
  postings will maintain timeliness, and good propagation through the
  computer networks.
